I quite like Julia. I can't remember how I stumbled on it, but I reach for it when I want to do data processing that's more complex than the hodgepodge shell scripts I'd usually write. It's a nice language IMO. Congrats on the release!

Congratulations for this new release! Instead of commenting the many improvements, I would like to praise the quality of this Release page: everything is explained clearly, with concrete examples, measurements, and small videos. Bravo!
